Slackware :: Printing Document - Printer Had Been "stopped"

Jun 20, 2010

If there has been one consistent, recurring problem over the years it has been printing. I went to print a document, but it never made it to the printer. I looked at the HP device manager and the file was in the queue, but with the notation that the printer had been "stopped." I checked the setup up with localhost:631 and everything appears to be correct. User name is in the lp group. I then removed the current CUPS package and installed the one from Slackware64-13.

Doing that solved an earlier problem with one of the newer version of CUPS. This time the document made it to the printer, but each line overlapped itself and the whole thing fit into the space of about 6 lines. Just for chuckles I saved a copy of the document to the windows partition, booted over to XP, fired up OpenOffice for windows and the same document printed out perfectly.

Ubuntu :: PDF's Stopped Printing - Document Failed To Print

Aug 8, 2011

My PDF's won't print anymore. They used too, but now all I get is a message that says, "document failed to print". Office docs print fine on the Canon Pixma i4300. I installed the CUPS PDF driver but it doesn't help. Acrobat won't initialize reliably in Firefox 5.0.

Slackware :: Libreoffice3.3.2 Printing In SW13.37 - Doesn't Print The Same Font On The Printer

May 21, 2011

After installing libre3.3.2 using the Slackbuild scripts, I found that it displayed fonts correctly, but doesn't print the same font on the printer. The output of the printer should be Arial, but is instead some elongated, overlapping mess.

The same Slackware package installed on SW13.1 prints normally. (Same computer, different partition)

Spadmin used to control the printer fonts, but apparently not anymore.

System: Linux nadrek 2.6.37.6-smp #2 SMP Sat Apr 9 23:39:07 CDT 2011 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux.

Ubuntu :: Brother HL-4070CDW (with Wi-Fi) Stopped Printing

Mar 1, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony Z series laptop which is also dual booted with MS Vista. My Brother printer (which has wi-fi) has stopped printing with Ubuntu. The Brother does still print with Vista using the wireless connection.

I've tried deleting the network printer software and reinstalling it. The installation program will locate the Brother printer and it will appear to have been installed properly. When I try to do a test print using Ubuntu, the "document print status" window will indicate the print job is pending. However, it will stay pending indefinitely. I've used the printing troubleshooter guide and it has advised that:

- The queue 'Brother-HL-4070CDW' is not enabled. The reason given is: 'Unable to locate printer 'BRWCEB885'!'.

- To enable it, select the 'Enabled' checkbox in the 'Policies' tab for the printer in the printer administration tool. To start this tool, select System->Administration->Printing from the main menu.

When I go to the policies tab and check the 'Enabled' box and then try to apply this selection, the 'Enabled' box automatically unchecks and I get a print error message:

- Printer Error. There was problem sending document 'Test Page' (job 117) to the printer.

I seem to be caught in an endless loop without anything printing.

Fedora :: HP 1400 Printer Detected / Send Document But No Printout

Fedora Security :: SELinux - Update Stopped Printing

Mar 6, 2009

I know very little about SE Linux and I've heard that in some situations it's better to disable it. For a home user, is it important? Does it improve your life ? or does it get in the way ?

Last week some update stopped my printing and I had to install the new hplip from HP because it wasn't in the Fedora repos to correct the problem. I don't know if SELinux had anything to do with it, but today when I disabled SELinux a few minutes later I get a star up on the toolbar and when I clicked on it it mentioned something about hplip. It wouldn't make any sense to me but maybe this has happened to others.

Hardware :: HP Deskjet 5940 Has Stopped Printing In Black?

Jun 8, 2011

Suddenly, my printer has stopped printing in black. Either I get a smudge on the paper, or the warning light comes on and it stops working completely.

hp-levels reports the black cartridge as 82% full and in good health hp-info says "there is a problem with a print cartridge" hp-clean either doesn't help or doesn't run

I've tried wiping the print head (the ink's coming out OK) and polishing the cartridge connection.

OpenSUSE Network :: Installed 11.3, CUPS Printing Stopped Working?

Jul 20, 2010

I have been using Opensuse since 11.0, and I never had any problems with the setup of CUPS printing (university based). Now for the first time, after many months of flawless printing using 11.2, after installing 11.3 the printing has stopped working. I use the same method: Print via print server machine -> CUPS server (IPP) and I test the connection. In my 11.2 it shows "OK", in 11.3 (I also tried with firewall off) I am getting the following (I have substituted the actual values with xxx for privacy).

Fedora :: Printing Via SMB To Windows 7 Printer?

Dec 8, 2009

I'm running Fedora 11 and printing to both an HP Laser Jet 4Plus and HP Office Jet 7130 via a Windows 7 PC. I have a UID/PWD account on the PC that differs from that on the Fedora, also one that is identical UID/PWD to that used in Fedora. This has worked fine until "recently" (noticed it in ~last week or 2). Suddenly I'm being asked repeatedly to authenticate to print, neither account credentials are working. I get the message "Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)" and I get nowhere. I tried delete and reinstall the printers in Fedora, that works OK, can "see" them in setup on the Windows 7 host just fine. But can't get past the repeated authentications ...? I'm guessing something has changed in Fedora updates because this used to work with same Windows 7 PC in prior weeks.

OpenSUSE :: Printing PDF's And Stopping The Printer?

Jun 4, 2011

I'm having trouble with printing a PDF that is in landscape mode. When I tell Okular or Adoble Reader to print a document in landscape mode, the text is Illegible. If I tell it to print as portrait mode, then I can read the text but the end is cut off and there is no way for me to tell Okular or Adobe Reader what the margins are. That option was grayed out.

I'm having another problem: When I cancel the job from the CUPS interface, it says it canceled the job but the printer keeps going and finishes whether I want it to or not. With 11.2, I was able to have it set up so that when I told it to stop the printer, it did so right away. Why can't I get the printer to stop in the middle of a job if I see something wrong with it so that I don't have to waste ink?

Ubuntu :: Stop A Printer From Printing?

Jul 2, 2010

How do I stop a printer from printing? Here's what happened- I started to print some PDF stuff and then changed my mind. The printing job hadn't finished so I just clicked on the printer icon and selected QUIT. Well, of course that didn't work so I just turned the printer off......same result- when I turn the printer back on it keeps on printing the same stuff. How do I stop the printer from continuing and delete all print jobs?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Epson Stylus Photo R300 Stopped Printing?

Feb 10, 2010

I'm running OpenSUSE 11.0 (64 bit). I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300 printer that used to work just fine. Apparently there was an update to the CUPS software that I applied and now the printer is no longer working.

Through examining the error_log file in /var/log/cups I found that two files were missing from /usr/lib/cups/filter. These files existed in the /usr/lib64/cups/filter directory so I linked them to the /usr/lib/cups/filter directory. That cleared up two errors.

When I send a "Print Self Test Page" command from the CUPS Printers page, I get the following error:

Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost

When I attempt to send a print job from an application like gedit or OpenOffice Writer, I get the following error:

Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Send-Document (ipp://localhost:631/printers/EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300) from localhost

I've crawled all through the openSUSE forums and 'googled' all sorts of variations for these errors and found nothing useful. I'm hoping someone here might have a clue as to where I might go next to fix this.

Like I said, it was working before and now it's not so there must be something in a recent CUPS release that has messed things up.

Debian Configuration :: No Printing From LPR - Unknown Printer

Oct 19, 2010

I have installed an HP LaserJet 2200 network printer using CUPS successfully and can print test pages and stuff from OpenOffice, Evince etc. But no luck printing from lpr. Using lpstat seems to suggest all is well:

$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: HP-LaserJet-2200
device for HP-LaserJet-2200: socket://192.168.10.42:9100
HP-LaserJet-2200 accepting requests since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
printer HP-LaserJet-2200 is idle. Enabled since Tue 19 Oct 2010 14:01:50 NZDT
Ready to print.

If I now try to print 'test.txt' using:
$ lpr test.txt
nothing happens. Try calling the printer by name:
$ lpr -P HP-LaserJet-2200 test.txt
lpr: HP-LaserJet-2200: unknown printer

I have added my user name to the lp and lpadmin groups. Trying the above as 'sudo' results in the same result. The only thing I've noticed is that when printing something from OpenOffice, in the document print status I get the message 'Processing - not connected?', although printing still works.

Fedora Networking :: Printing From A Windows Printer?

I have a windows machine on my lan with a printer attached. I have samba running on my F11 laptop and I can use it to access shared files on the windows machine. But how can I use the printer from fedora? When I go to Administor>Printers then I just get an empty list, even after pressing 'rescan'. Do I have to change some firewall/samba configuration? If not then where else would I see the printer?

OpenSUSE :: Cannot Find Resume Printer/printing?

Jan 23, 2011

In December I finally filled up my root partition and broke Suse 11.1. I therefore resized my partitions and installed Suse 11.3 on /root. I didn't not touch my /home partition.

Last week I had a paper jam in the printer. This has been cleared and as far as I know the printer is now fine. However the printer will not print. In url, it says printing has been paused, but I cannot find resume printer/printing anywhere.

I have tried Google, but the instructions do not appear to match where I would find 'resume printer'.I am able to provide further information.

Ubuntu :: Karmic 9.10 And Printing To XP Shared Printer?

Feb 17, 2010

I have a brand new Canon MF4350d printer/copier/fax/scanner installed and shared on XP that I can't get working on Ubuntu!

XP prints test pages fine. Ubuntu sees the XP shared printer, it sends print jobs, and the XP machine even receives the print jobs (I can see them "spooling" in the XP print manager) but then nothing happens. The job leaves Ubuntu showing 150k but then shows 50 bytes when received in XP before disappearing from the queue.

How I got to where I am...

There was no native driver in Ubuntu for the printer, so I downloaded Canon linux drivers source and compiled (including make install) based on some other threads I've found such as this one.

Compiling left me with PPD files that seem to be specific to the MF4350, although their names show MF4350z not MF4350d. I'm not sure why there were three different files with slightly different names (CNCUPSMF4350ZJ.ppd, CNCUPSMF4350ZK.ppd, and CNCUPSMF4350ZS.ppd).

I added the printer manually using the Ubuntu printer browser setup (Samba) and selected the .PPD files manually. I've tried all three different .PPD files to no avail.

I've toggled bi-directional comm. and tried different print drivers on XP. Nothing's worked yet.

Ubuntu :: Canon MX340 Printer Not Printing?

Feb 4, 2011

Been using ubnutu gnome for a loooong time and my printer (Canon MX340) has been running just fine, configuration and usage.

I now switch to kde. configure my printer the same way i would under gnome and as soon as i send a job, it processes for about 3 seconds and just marks "stopped" under status. nothing goes through anymore!!

i've updated from 4.5 to 4.6 with backports and nothing is happening on there either.

im running maverick amd64 and using the i386 drivers (with dpkg -i --force-all) which are still recognized even under kde.

p.s.: the printer normally runs as wireless standalone (no samba/cups involvment whatsoever)

Ubuntu :: HP Printer Printing Black Pages?

Apr 24, 2011

Thought I'd post this as I couldn't find much about it online. I have an HP3745 and am running Ubuntu 10.04. For some reason I couldn't get anything from the black ink cartridge in test mode or for real. The printer would go through the motions but would return a blank page. Turns out it was because my COLOUR ink cartridge was empty!! Solution was simply to select print in grayscale. Also I find with this particular printer HPCUPS works better than HPLIP.

The printer is physically connected to a Desktop PC running Windows Vista (64-bit).I've tried installing the printer though CUPS to no avail.

General :: CUPS Printing To Win 7 Shared Printer?

Jan 20, 2011

I'm running Red Hat Linux and CUPS 1.2.4. I can print a test page to a Win 7 shared printer ok. However, when I issue the lpr command from a user or root, it won't print. The CUPS message is "Remote host did not accept data file (1)" and the job just hangs till I cancel it. The only thing I can tell that is different is that when the test page from CUPS is generated, it uses user "guest". When I try to print it using the lpr command, the user is "eddie" or "root". I tried adding a user account named "eddie" to the Win 7 box, I can print successfully from both CUPS and users on several other Win XP boxes.

I have a recently installed dual boot system with Centos 5.2 and Fedora 10. I connect across a LAN to a network printer HP Laserjet 1320n I have been through the printer installation / setup on both systems Fedora works fine, Centos doesn't want to know. Sending anything to print just adds it to a queue that is never printed.

I have looked at the printer management through Firefox browser localhost.localdomain:631 If I send a test page from here (CUPS) it reports the document as printed, but the printer just sits there blinking an orange light indicating an error.

Fedora :: Printing With F12 - Printer Stops After Generic Error

Apr 28, 2010

I've recently decided to migrate the infrastructure in my workplace from ubuntu to fedora, every thing except the printers went perfectly. When I try to print as an user It just throws an generic error and stops, as a root it doesn't even show the error.

This is the debug log:
Code:
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdSetBusyState: Dirty files
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 12 POST / HTTP/1.1
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdSetBusyState: Active clients and dirty files
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] cupsdReadClient: 12 1.1 Get-Jobs 1
D [28/Apr/2010:04:22:03 +0200] Get-Jobs ipp://localhost/printers/ .....

It worked fine in debian and ubuntu, so we can assume that the drivers are ok, any ideas?
